The Word of God is at the 22th level of conscience. The cosmic conscience would subdivide indeed into 24 dimensional or spiritual levels. The maximal conscience level, the 24th, would be attributable only to the God-Father and the 23th level would be considered as being an energy protective area surrounding the level 24. The 22th level of conscience would be also that of the antique Elohim also named the 24 Ancients.

Genetic Code Milestone:Map of Chromosome 22

Genetically altered babies born
By BBC News Online science editor Dr David Whitehouse
Scientists have confirmed that the first genetically altered humans have been born and are healthy.
Up to 30 such children have been born - 15 of them as a result of one experimental programme at a US laboratory.
As we saw in our series on genetic engineering of food crops,
genetic "engineers" are now moving genes around among plants,
animals, and bacteria on a regular basis, but with very little
understanding of the possible consequences, and almost no safety
testing. Now genetic engineers are starting to modify the genes
of humans, using three approaches: 1) cloning, 2) somatic cell
manipulation, and 3) human germline manipulation.
...
Germline manipulation: Germ cells (sperm and eggs) do pass DNA
from one generation to the next. Germline manipulation refers to
changes in the germ cells changes which will be inherited by
successive generations. Designing future generations through
germline manipulation is still in the realm of science fiction,
but just barely: some influential scientists are arguing that it
should be attempted.
Today is unique over all yesterdays in that not only is the revelation apocalyptic but the visions of reason are equally catastrophic. In times like ours where can one derive a non-fatal vision of the future?
The Aeon This is the card of our times. Are we facing the Apocalypse and Final Judgement, or "merely" the end of one evolutionary stage and the beginning of another?
The amino acid Methionine has a corresponding dual nature. As punctuation it signals the start of protein synthesis by marking the beginning of a gene on a strand of messenger RNA. It also functions as an amino acid within the protein chain which the mRNA holds in coded form.
The traditional interpretation of this card refers to the Final or Last Judgement, apocalypse or the end of civilization. It pictures the arrival of a messenger or angel who gathers and leads the ones to be saved from the coming destruction by fire; ending one era and signaling the beginning of another.
"DECREASE" - kua 41, and "THE AEON" - trump XX echo this confusion of ends and beginnings that manifest during times of transition.

While the world's leaders gathered at Davos last month were nervously chatting about the subprime crisis, rising oil prices, and roiling stock markets, geneticist Craig Venter crammed into a Swiss phone booth and talked to National Public Radio's Science Friday and others about creating the first artificial chromosome.

.....not to be picky, but when i was at school, high school, and then University, they told me we had 23 chromosomes, 22 autosomes and the 23 being the sex chromosome.

You can't drop the most important chromosome just to fit a theory, its the sex one.....i mean come on.
In 1531 Cornelius Agrippa in his ‘Occult Philosophy’ wrote "Twenty-two signifies the fullness of wisdom, and so many are the characters of the Hebrew alphabet, and so many books does the Old Testament contain." [Decker, R. "Art and Arcana" 2004]
In medieval number symbolism twenty-two through its association with the bible and the Hebrew alphabet was a number symbolising completion and the sum knowledge of wisdom, especially in regard to holy teachings. Account of such played a part in Augustine’s division of the City of God into twenty-two chapters, and probably played a part to in the late Christian division of St. John’s revelations.

A chromosome cannot be manipulated if it hasn't been mapped. 22 was the first to be mapped. 23, decides male or female, 22 desides traits, looks, etc.
I'm surprised you don't understand that. Manipulating 23 would simply change the sex. Manipulating 22, is the final element in the 22 pairs. I mean, come on.

So, in the human body is 22 pairs of chromosomes.
Guess which pair was the first to be decoded.
Chromosome 22
John Craig Venter, president of Celera, welcomed the announcement Wednesday as "an important milestone" in efforts to map the complete human genome.
The map of chromosome number 22 was pieced together by researchers at Wellcome Trust's Sanger Center in Britain, at Keio University in Japan and at two American universities, the University of Oklahoma and Washington University in St. Louis. The Human Genome Project also involves researchers in France and Germany.
Number 22 is the second-smallest of the 23 pairs of chromosomes in every human cell, holding between 1.6 percent and 1.8 percent of the human genetic code. But the chromosome contains a rich number of genes that are believed to play a role in at least 35 diseases, including congenital heart disease, schizophrenia, mental retardation, leukemia and trisomy 22, the second most common cause of miscarriage, according to Ian Dunham, the biochemist who led the research effort at the Wellcome Trust.
The mapping of chromosome 22 revealed 679 genes, of which 55 percent were previously unknown in humans. Scientists believe further work on the map may raise the total number of genes to around 1,000. There are still 11 gaps in the chemical sequence of the chromosome that could not be identified with existing technology, but the map is 97 percent complete.
The information from the $3 billion Human Genome Project has already enabled researchers to develop tools for diagnosing a predisposition to certain diseases, and to test biological therapies to replace or correct faulty genes without some of the debilitating side effects of conventional drugs.
Twenty-two of the pairs of chromosomes are similar in males and females. These are called autosomes. The 23rd pair is different. A female has two X chromosomes and a male has an X and a Y chromosome. Because they are different in males and females, we call the X and Y, sex chromosomes.

The number 22 also has a profound Biblical meaning. The 22nd and last letter of the Hebrew Alphabet is Tav, with the sound of 'T'. Before the Jews picked up new 'fonts' in Babylonia Tav was written as + in Phoenicia and as x by the Hebrews, in other words as a cross. The cross is the meaning of 22. That is why there are 66 books in the Bible, 3 x 22. The Bible hints at the 3 crosses (22) of Calvary. Of those 66 books 44 have less than 22 chapters. Exactly 22 books have 22 chapters or more. The last (66th) book of the Bible - Revelation - ends with chapter 22.
On the cross Jesus allegedly said, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me, thus quoting Psalm 22. Christians consider Psalm 22 as the Psalm of the Cross.

Whether there are 22 pairs or 23 pairs could be debated. 22 alike pairs and one sex chromosome.
The point is the 22nd chromosome is manipulated.
Come on, your going to have to do better to be disinformants.
BTW...do you know what they choose chromosome 22 to map and manipulate first. Its the shortest, thats right, the smallest, the easiest to map. That is science for you, common sense. Although why they call it common i don't know.
Chromosome 22 is the second smallest of the human autosomes. The short arm (22p) contains a series of tandem repeat structures including the array of genes that encode the structural RNAs of the ribosomes, and is highly similar to the short arms of chromosomes 13, 14, 15 and 21. The long arm (22q) is the portion of human chromosome 22 that contains the protein coding genes and this is the region that has now been sequenced
Chromosome 21, the smallest chromosome in the human genome, has become only the second human chromosome to be fully sequenced.
p.s. Also, who am i disinforming, the massive amounts of people reading you break through thread. Not.
